A bit of family history

Did you know that each of these women in the family had a daughter at the age of 28?
Pretty cool!!!

Jessica had Eve in 2003
Hannah had Jessica 1975
Kay had Hannah 1947
Rose had Kay 1918
Anna had Rose 1890
Batcha had Anna 1862
Batcha (Beatrice) year of birth unkown, born and died in Russia (today Ukraine).

Grandma Rose came with her Uncle's family to the US at 10 years old, she was sent because she was the only one qualified to work, the family was confident that she could get a job. She traveled with her uncle, aunt, and several cousins. Her parents followed several weeks later, coming with her grandparents. She would grow up to marry her cousin Jack who had traveled with her.

Upon arriving in the US in 1900 she went to work in a factory in Brooklyn. She had to sit on a box and have special attachments for her feet to hit the pedals of the sewing machine.

Today, it's another generation helping to make the cookies, Aili, Remi & Eve, Kay's 3 great-granddaughters.
